With Airbus throwing Pratt & Whitney under the bus this morning, here comes another dump on the engine maker.

American Airlines selects CFM engines and services for Airbus A321neo fleet expansion.  American’s future deliveries of Airbus A321neo aircraft will continue to be powered by the CFM LEAP-1A engine. These engines will be installed on Airbus

A321neo aircraft that American ordered two years ago. As part of the expanded partnership, CFM International will continue to provide long-term maintenance for American’s CFM LEAP-1A engines for years to come.
